For the July meeting, the group will read "Death and the Dancing Footman" by Ngaio Marsh. Join the discussion on Thursday, July 16 at 2 p.m. in the Board Room, Civic Center Library, 1188 S. Livermore Ave. Registration is not required to attend the meeting. Jonathan Royal has invited half a dozen people to his mansion for a weekend party, and just for fun he has deliberately chosen guests who detest one another. Tension mounts as the house is isolated by a blizzard, and before long one of the guests turns up dead. But it’s simply not possible for anyone to have gotten into the library to murder him! The footman had heard a catchy tune on the radio and was dancing in the hallway the entire time. After fighting his way through the snow, Inspector Alleyn manages to piece together a couple of very confusing clues. Meetings are held in person on the third Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. at Civic Center Library Board Room. Each month, the club selects and reads a mystery novel published before 1960 by Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, Rex Stout, John Dickson Carr, Erle Stanley Gardner, Ngaio Marsh, Dashiell Hammett, Ellery Queen, and other well-known authors.
